LW Collectibles: 2008

I AM BACK :-)

Hi there!

I am back :-)

You may have seen my previous project for a website for collectors. In the end it was most successful for modelers and artists and less for collectors because the focus was mainly on the exhibition of collectibles and other items.

I have a different concept in mind exclusively for militaria collectors and historians. But before I start spending much time and effort on this project I wanted to ask you wheter you would like to see such a platform or not. The features I have in mind are as follows:

1) SHOWROOM:
as with my previous concept you will be able to show your own militaria collectibles here

2) PHOTO ALBUM:
here you can post any wartime photo you like (e.g. photos from your grandfather or other photos in your collection).

3) ACADEMY:
here you can write expert articles about collectibles (e.g. how to recognize a fake, etc.), about your latest addition to your collection, etc.

4) LIBRARY:
here you will be able to upload interesting source documents you would like to share with others.

5) NEWS:
here you will find news about upcoming auctions, current auctions (like it was done in this blog in the past, but with not only me contributing but all of you), etc. etc.

6) FORUM:
here you will find a traditional forum. All items in the album, library and news section can also be commented.

7) CHAT:
here you will be able to chat with other collectors or historians who are online

Now I want to now from you if you like this idea and which of above's features you would like to see. Please let me know using the voting poll and the comment box at the right.

Cheers,
LWCollector

Showcase: Messerschmitt Bf 109 K-4 Manual

Hi there!
Today, I am back with a rare Bf 109 K-4 manual. I not only show this item to you but I also offer them (either in trade for Me 262 related documents or for sale to the highest bidder):

Original Messerschmitt Bf 109 K-4 Manual

It contains parts 1,2,3,4 and 5 in one big manual:

Teil 1: Rumpfwerk (fuselage)
Teil 2: Fahrwerk (landing gear)
Teil 3: Steuerwerk (flaps, rudders, etc.)
Teil 5: Tragwerk (wings)

The photos are very nice and clear not like in moder reprints. There are many larger drawings that can be folded out. If you are interested in the manual (either trade for Me 262 documents or for sale to highest bidder), please contact me via LWCollector@gmail.com

Original Me 109 G manual with real photos of cockpit, FuG 16 radio, etc. 130188715243
I am currently offering a Me 109 G manual: Many drawings, photos, electrical wiring diagrams, sketches on 72 pages covering armament, radio, engine, maintenance, oxygen equipment, etc. etc. Published in 1944 by Swiss Army which operated about a dozen of Me 109 G that it got in exchange for destroying a Me 110 G nightfighter that landed by mistake in Switzerland and was equiped with the latest radar technology. Very interesting and absolutely rare!
